In the last week or two I have been investigating how to link Traineo and Nike+

Basically, I love Nike+, I run it counts the miles.
I love traineo, it has all that lovely web 2.0 goodness etc.

BUT...

I have to enter my mileage manually. :(

Thankfully it looks like I'll be able to script up a hack to pull from Nike+ and add it to my Traineo profile. WOOT!

I have all the details I need i think.
The big question...Perl or PHP.

Stay tuned.

In an earlier post I pondered my status as an entrepreneur, at least the personality type.

I am still wondering about it and how do you cope as an entrepreneur, especially if like me, you are quite isolated.

The entrepreneur requires "pillers" that can compensate for the areas that entrepreneurs are weak. As a friend of mine described it to me tonight, I have my fingers in too many pies.
He is right of course and the problem is that I tend to flit from project to project and often I don't capitalise on the efforts I put in.

Examples are:

My www.Judocoach.com site, really not done anything to it for months!
www.thejudopodcast.eu, not done a podcast for weeks and weeks!
www.Judo4parents.com, not enough posts!
Many more!

So how do I resolve this issue? How do I find people that can help me follow through? How do I find people that will make some of these ideas successes that preferably make a profit, maybe even provide some income. Maybe even give me an opportunity to do it fulltime?

Hmm....

All help appreciated!

Woot!
I went for a run this evening with my wife and when I got home and plugged in the iPod, I got this great message and certificate!

Hip Hip Hooray for me!

WOW!

My little Nabaztag Bunny Hack at Hackday London seems to have taken on a life of it's own. So far most every post about Hackday I have seen mentions it! (including on www.Wired.com)

I am hoping to get a video of it online tonight along with photos and the code.

Check back soon!

Okay... at about 5am this morning I decided to stop banging my head against the digital door and lay down to sleep here in the West Hall of Alexandra Palace, I was strugling with lib_curl and getting data from the plazes API.

The sleep only lasted to about 5:45am, but up I got and took another look at my little hack PHP script.

5 Minutes later it worked!
It appears I am a lot like a Windoze machine, occasionally just turning it off and turning it back on again makes everything work again. The hack itself (number two thank you very much!), checks if I am registered in a plaze (www.plaze.com) checks if I am, it checks if it's where I was the last time it checked up on me.

If it is new, it hits the Nabaztag API and makes the bunny report my where abouts (I can tell my wife will like this hack!). It also (after a bit more hacking) ping twitter and updates twitter saying what plaze I am in and what city too for that matter.

It's all coming up roses this morning, I must remember to reboot myself more often!
